Copperton is one of Utah's most historically unique communities — a company town built by Kennecott Utah Copper in 1926 at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains, with distinctive craftsman architecture, panoramic valley views, and a community of about 1,700 residents.
Copperton is one of Utah's most architecturally distinctive communities — a planned company town built by Kennecott Utah Copper in 1926 to house mine workers and their families at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains. The township's period craftsman bungalows, community center, and park give it a charm unlike anything else in Salt Lake County.
The Kennecott Bingham Canyon Mine — one of the world's largest open-pit copper mines and a National Historic Landmark — is directly adjacent to Copperton. The mine has operated since 1906 and employs approximately 2,500 workers. Many Copperton residents are direct Kennecott employees or contractors.
Copperton sits at 5,250 feet on the west slope of the Oquirrhs, giving it sweeping views of Salt Lake Valley and the Wasatch Range. The elevation keeps the township cooler than the valley floor in summer — a premium amenity for buyers coming from valley heat. The historic character of the homes and the mountain setting create a lifestyle that's genuinely unusual for a Salt Lake County community.
